The otter pulls out a sling and takes the rock. "My specialty." He places the rock in the sling and after a few whirls, lets the stone go. It flies true and knocks a guard who is standing a little way off, near one of the gates. He falls down, unconscious, and other guards rush to his side.

"Slave revolt!" one yells. The guards begin screaming, and the guards from outside who had found the dead bodies on the shore arrive at the gates with their odd news as well. Along with this, the guards who had been distracted by the lead otter outside the small gate arrive with their own news, causing sheer panic in the castle.

The slave pens are opened, and many woodlanders are prodded out as the entire pen is searched for weapons, and the slaves are prodded and checked. The otter raises an eyebrow and looks at Shadowbane. "That was ... unexpected."
